Yeah that's right. With my trip down to Myrtle Beach i stumbled apon a Pet Store and they had a HUGE snake selection. They also had moniters, and other assortments of lizards, scorpions, and terranchillas (sp)

In the end I picked out a beautiful female Ball Python.

The guy who worked in the reptile area said she was 3, but my friend and I beg to differ, we think 2ish. I didn't buy a baby one because they can get sick easilly....ect.

She's around 2.5 feet long right now, i'll get a more accurate measurement tomorow.

She's in a 10 gallon terririum right now, that was just for traveling from the beach back home and tomorow after school i'm going out and getting a 25 gallon one and getting a half log, and some other goodies for her.

She's very friendly, and loves to be out of her cage.



Theres a pic of her chillin in the terrirrium i'll get better pics when she's in her new habitat tomorow.

Like i said, it will get to around 4.5 feet at adult size, and by then i'll be in college. And you know the cool thing to do is have a snake at college.

Not exactly sure yet on the name, i need help with that.

If the snake was a guy i'd name it Jim, after the great Jim Morrison, but she's a girl.....

So my family and I thought of Gem, like a rock, which is pronounced like Jim but.....more lady like?

Not sure if i like Gem or not, that's what everyone is calling her though.....

ANy suggestions?

A ball python wont kill you it wont constrict you unless it wanted to eat you which your to big even a new born infant is to big for an adult ball python and its not venomous so 100 bites wont kill you

And at 2.5 feet she should be on bigger then small mice my 3.5 foot male ball is eating medium rats

You seem to know what your doin with the snake not keeping it in the 10 gallon shows that but ball pythons can be problem feeders and are known for giving new snake owners trouble so if you have any questions feel free to ask ive dealt with 1 for 3 years
